THIS DISCLOSURE IS MADE PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 33 OF THE REGULATIONS OF THE ABU DHABI STOCK EXCHANGE AS TO DISCLOSURE AND TRANSPARENCY Sharjah, UAE: 12 October 2017: Dana Gas PJSC (“Dana Gas” or the “Company”) provides the following market update in connection with the ongoing legal dispute regarding the Company’s Sukuk Al Mudarabah. The Company announces that it has today filed in the English Appeal Court applications for permission to appeal two prior decisions of the English High Court: 1. Dana has applied for permission to appeal the English High Court’s decision on 22 September which allowed BlackRock to join the English legal trial. BlackRock is a Sukukholder and is a self-appointed member of the Adhoc Committee which purports to act on behalf of Sukukholders. Dana Gas has appealed the English High Court’s decision to join BlackRock to the UK trial as under the terms of the agreed Sukuk contractual arrangements all Sukukholders are expressly prohibited from pursuing a claim in relation to the Purchase Undertaking or pursuant to the Sukuk Al Mudarabah. 2. Dana Gas has also applied for permission to appeal the English High Court’s decision to proceed with the English trial in circumstances where Dana Gas was prevented from participating in the English trial. Blackrock was permitted to make its pleadings before the English High Court on matters of English law on 25 September. Dana Gas has so far been prevented from participating in the English trial as the Sharjah UAE Federal Court of First Instance (the “Sharjah Court”) issued an anti-suit injunction against Dana Gas from participating in the English trial. The Sharjah Court issued this anti-suit injunction at the request of and in response to the action by several shareholders of Dana Gas who sought to have the UAE law matters decided by the Sharjah Court. The English High Court proceeded with the English trial without Dana Gas participating and adjourned until 12 October for Dana Gas to take steps in the Sharjah Court to allow it to participate in the English trial. On the 20 September, Dana Gas filed an appeal to have the Sharjah Court anti-suit injunction varied to allow it to appear on 12 October before the English High Court on matters of English law. On 8 October, the Sharjah Court of Appeal considered the appeal and adjourned the matter to a date to be fixed. As the Sharjah Court of Appeal did not make the requested variation to the Sharjah Court anti- suit injunction before 12 October, Dana Gas was unable to challenge Blackrock’s pleadings on 12 October.

Dana Gas and Crescent Petroleum Resume Khor Mor Expansion Project
Dana Gas and Crescent Petroleum Resume Khor Mor Expansion Project US$600m investment to increase production 57% within 2 years Production to grow from 440MMSCFD to 690MMSCFD by April 2023 Force Majeure lifted with KRG and US Contractor Exterran after COVID Delay 26th April 2021 Dana Gas, the Middle East’s leading publicly listed regional natural gas company, and its partner Crescent Petroleum, the oldest private oil & gas company in the Middle East, have announced the full resumption of the expansion project at the Khor Mor field in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI), which the companies jointly operate on behalf of the Pearl Petroleum consortium. The KM250 expansion involves further investment of US$600 million to add 250 million cubic feet per day of much-needed additional gas production to supply the local power stations. The project construction work had been put on hold due to the COVID pandemic but is now on track for a new target start date of April 2023, after agreement to lift the force majeure with both the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and the contractor. Under a Gas Sales agreement signed in March 2019 with the KRG Ministry of Natural Resources, Pearl Petroleum will sell the additional quantities of gas to supply the power stations with affordable and environmentally cleaner fuel, and further enhance electricity supplies. Today over 80% of the KRI’s electricity generation is enabled by the gas produced by the companies. Current production at the Khor Mor field is 440 million cubic feet per day of natural gas as well as 15,700 barrels per day of condensate and 1,020 tonnes of liquified petroleum gas (LPG), or a total of 110,400 barrels of oil equivalent (boe) per day, making it the largest overall producer in the KRI and the largest private sector upstream gas operation in Iraq.
